They say on Neptune
That when it rains,
It rains diamonds.
Could you imagine a more beautifully terrifying scene?
How something so rare could be made common.
That something that could cause a war in one place,
Could be walked over in another.
This can make one wonder,
how much power their own perceptions hold.
For if we could all find value in one another
Maybe we would see diamond rain here too....
After what feels like hours of scrolling, there is finally a glimmer of hope. In the vast pool of dateable men near me, I finally come across one that isn’t just a “fun-loving guy that just wants to have a good time”. Really sir, I was hoping for a crotchety guy that loves going to the dmv.
This guy’s not shirtless or quoting something ridiculous from an action movie; he’s set himself apart from...
There comes a time when we all must weep under the willow
Some may make the time everyday
Offloading the baggage every night so they can face the next day
But others are forced to stop
Stopped by the monsters they thought they could outrun
Stopped by the monster they’ve now become
You can’t hide from what is in you
Hiding in the darkest part of your heart
Pleading and hoping for a sun that will ...
I sit here now among things just like me. The grass has withered and dried. All the structures have fallen down, and the soil is too sick for anything new to grow. Even the path is being overtaken by decay.
But it didn’t use to be like this. You would never believe what this place was like before. There was soft, lush grass that tickled your legs as you ran through. Flowers everywhere, in all so...
Dear Future People (sorry if you go by something else now),
I am hiding this time capsule so you can enjoy the coolest things of our time. I know by the time you open this you’ll have your own cool stuff that is better than ours, but at least give it a chance.
The first item is a Game Boy SP. it’s the blue one that flips open with a screen and buttons. I left Donkey Kong in it so you have a gam...
They said I had enough
Enough for me
Enough for my children
Enough for my children’s children
But they were wrong
Late nights now amount to nothing
Anniversaries forgotten sting that much more
And school plays feel like memories I let walk out the door
And for what?
Rented memories in a fast car
A boastful house that kept us apart
Now there’s nothing for my children
Nothing for my children’s chi...
They’re running out of time; the day is quickly coming to an end. The red suits have been searching for hours, and still haven’t come up with anything. The only thing that they think they know is that the craft has been stranded here for more than a week.
They’ve brought out every fancy tool that they have, for nothing. They can’t detect a noise to see if there are any survivors, they can’t tell...
Birds chirp their heart’s song
The flowers blow in the breeze
As the children fend off a brain freeze
Nothing in the world seems wrong
The bees buzz around just to say hello
Even the water’s rush is in peace
And the young women’s laughter fails to cease
At the young men who try to be cool and mellow
Yes, on a beautiful summer’s day everything is perfect
The problems of yesterday no longer matte...
All my wishes came true. I got the promotion at work and a huge pay raise with the corner office. My boss came and apologized to me before quitting and I got promoted again to his position. My office crush, that I didn’t even think knew I existed came and talked to me!
I got the fancy car I’ve always wanted and it looks great sitting in the driveway of my new house while my boat is parked in the ...
10 Steps Away
I’m steps away from voluntarily jumping off a bridge. Why am I doing this? How did I let my friends talk me into this. This is exactly what I was warned about all through my childhood.
9 Steps Away
Is this even safe? I didn’t see any kind of permits or anything, but these guys look like they know what they’re doing. Right? Hey, if I do this and am panicked when I’m pulled back up t...
